Wow, God is so good!!!!! And everyday, as I start my day with a prayer and a devotion, I give my life to God all anew, and it's like 'Ok Jesus, what amazing thing is going to happen today?' It's exciting, all in God's hands, no matter where I end up.
-------------
Had an early morning appointment at DMV today, which took nearly two hours to get it all done! I had to have 'validation' done to my car, such weird thing, somebody just comes over and looks at your car, and ok, you're good to go. What? And I had to wait half hour for that. Then another half hour at the window to get my Cali registration and yessssss!!!!!! I got Cali plates!!!!!!!!!! yeay! I'm officially driving in California now! And then I went for my written test again. Man, Cali crazy rulez!!! :/ But I passed! Praise Jesus I passed!!!! I got temporary Cali licence, and the new one should be mailed to me within a month or two. And my PA licence got punched, of course :) Yes, this is done, I'm so happy! I just got to get a screwdriver from Dick and put up the plates :) Beautiful white plates :)
And then... then..... maaaaan! So here is the story:
I've been looking at guitars for a good while now, including last night. I was supposed to study for the written test for today but I just kept looking at guitars. And then I found one craigslist post, from that very day so very new from somebody wanting to sell a Martin with a hard case for pretty cheap. I was like WOW! It's a low end Martin, but still! A MARTIN! So I go and do my research (that's one good thing I've learned from Jeff, always take time to research before you buy anything $100 and up), and the prices, and the reviews, and sounds.... and it was all AMAZING!!!! So I email the gal saying I want to see it. She says she already has somebody looking at it in the afternoon, but if they don't buy it, she'll let me know. I said ok, God's will be done on that one. I think that's a pretty nifty deal and you don't get guitars like that for so low. So then some time later that day she emails me back and says that if I can see her in Davis between 12 and 2pm, I can be the first one to see it. Whoa, of course I wanted and of course I could! And so I did. And so I loved it. And so I GOT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)
He's beautiful. Very unusual finish, love it though, beautiful woodwork, gorgeous spruce top and mahogany fretboard (ha, studying wood pays off), very small so it's perfect for a small woman, and the sound is quite lovely, rather low, I absolutely love it. I called Henry and told him all about it, and he's so nice and kind and willing to help me, and have a look at it and teach me few things here and there :) I'm beyond excited! So now it's the time to really burn my fingertips, and work hard on getting my fingers to obey me without pain and stiffness. That's a challenge, but anything is possible for those who really want to accomplish something. But I need to approach it as if I have never played before, I want to do this right. Been looking at private lessons, oh how much I need a job!!!!!
Speaking of a job, my frantic job searching and all day applying and resume sending (I was sooo tired!!!) paid off. A company called me today and I have my first proper job interview tomorrow morning in Sacramento :) How double exciting! It's an advertising company and I have no clue what they do, really, but they like my resume and they want to see me! :) We shall see, God's will be done on that one. :)
